Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Vince Young Is Our Quarterback Edition

This was my favorite quote in years (Full video at the end of this post):
Tafoya: For those people who still questioned, Vince, whether you could still play at this level in the NFL and be consistent, what's your answer to them?
VY: I love y'all too!
Paul K has these great tidbits as well:
When he was installed ahead of Kerry Collins following the Titans' 0-6 start, Young inherited a team with little more to lose. While the Texans seemed to feel the pressure as the moments that would decide the game arrived, the easy-going demeanor Young prides himself was still evident.
He put his arm around coach Jeff Fisher’s shoulder when he arrived at the sideline after failing to realize the 2:00 warning was upon the team in the first half. He patted an official on the backside after he was marked down, correctly, short of the goal line on one scamper. And he said he talked after the game amiably with Cushing, who was flagged for a late hit on Young out of bounds, telling his one-time USC rival that he should be defensive rookie of the year.
Newest VY fanboy: Paul Kuharsky... though, truth be told, if you're still hatin' on the man today then hating is something you were just born to do.
Last night might have been the most encouraging performance we've seen so far from Chris Johnson (and Mike Heimerdinger, in all honesty). Against one of the league's better run defenses, CJ was contained from breaking his signature huge plays yet managed to slash and grind his way to 151 yards while still averaging an elite 5.2 yards per carry. Getting it done in multiple was while never being stopped: just another reason CJ is the best back in the NFL right for 2010.
How far has Vince Young's passing progressed? Even Mike Florio, who got a good chunk of his NBC money for publicly hatin' on Vince, is giving the man some credit.
Follow us through the jump as the celebration continues....
This year, Nick Harper is the worst CB I've ever seen line-up in a Titans uniform, and I watched the entire Reynaldo Hill era. I watched Denard Walker too. This guy has lost it and that game would've been much less heart-attack inducing had Rod Hood started. I guess Fisher needs Bud to make that call for him as well?
Antonio Smith should have been ejected for elbowing Kevin Mawae in the kidney well away from the play last night. How friggin' stupid do you have to be to blatantly cheap-shot the president of the NFLPA? Also, how hilarious is it that the president of the player's union is getting called the dirtiest player in the league by some? How does that make one lick of sense? Are we to believe that Mawae is such a political and legal genius that players would vote for him despite being injured and hurt by him? Or are we to believe that the douchecanoe casting stones is just a petty, vindictive player who was a proven cheater on multiple occasions?
KSK knows why we won: Rob Bironas' Gunfingaz!
There still isn't a clear timetable of Justin Gage's return to the line-up. Kenny Britt has been great in Gage's absence, but getting Gage back would still be a big boost to the offense.
Looking at the AFC standing we have a long hill to climb to make a wildcard spot over the next 5 weeks, but there's one thing working greatly in our favor: the teams that are in front of are the Steelers (could be sans Big Ben for a while, already missing Troy), Broncos (slumping hard), Ravens (Flacco is regressing, D isn't what it was), Texans (can't close), the Jets (somehow Sanchez threw 2 INTs in last night's game) and the Dolphins (missing Ronnie Brown, but they're the one team in this cluster who are improving).
Send me links or don't send me links. I don't care today because WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Paul K
He put his arm around coach Jeff Fisher’s shoulder when he arrived at the sideline after failing to realize the 2:00 warning was upon the team in the first half. He patted an official on the backside after he was marked down, correctly, short of the goal line on one scamper.
This is not the first time that VY has acted like this on the field, patting officials on the behind and basically being laid back about the game. VY fell from grace very quickly and much of the media had nothing but bad things to say about him.
Well, VY is back, and so let the love train begin. Anybody see how many good things the Monday Night Countdown crew (aside from Cris Carter) had to say about VY?

Perhaps the contributing authors' have some personal matters to attend to
But generally, I agree; a blog should be recapping and reacting to their games, win or lose. Even MCM had post game reactions pretty quickly after getting walloped by New England, although I’m sure Jimmy and Co. wanted to hide under a rock after that game.

Couple of things:
1. What’s with our quarterbacks and the phantom fumbles against the Texans? Someone needs to find that witchdoctor and get them on our sidelines, not the Texans.
2. I understand Fisher’s logic at the beginning of the year, but I can’t help but wonder what if Vince had started on day 1. While Kerry did play well last year, Vince’s performance in the last 4 games has been so much better than Kerry’s play over the past 1.5 years that I find it hard to believe they didn’t see that in practice. It is what it is, but it sucks knowing that this team has the personnel to be sitting at 6-4 or better right now.
3. We heard some stories over the offseason that Vince lost some weight to pick up some speed. He’s looked good the past three games, but last night he made guys look silly. He hasn’t looked this fast since 2006.
4. I might lose it if the Texans fans bring up the Cushing personal foul. Yeah, it wasn’t the right call, but it wasn’t nearly as significant as the missed tripping call which would have kept our previous drive alive and moved us to midfield.
5. Nate…you’ve got to catch that ball.
by SuperHorn on Nov 24, 2009 8:56 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
...
1. It looked like he was down to me. Granted, I’m sure it was the right call on the field, but it was VERY close. Still, when you figure the adjusted QB rating that accounts for run yardage, you should add in the fumble as a pick just to keep it fair and honest.
2. A couple of things:
- Fisher is WAY too loyal to certain veterans. See also: Harper, Nick.
- Also, maybe not. First, the running thing also wasn’t showing up in the pre-season because they didn’t let him run much in the pre-season. Ditto for the Colts game last year. And without that, VY’s game can be—or was, at least—a little rough.
- Finally, Fisher seems to fear a QB-controversy more than any other single thing.
3. I didn’t, but okay.
4. Eh… That crap happens.
5. No kidding!

Phantom fumble
I do recall the KC fumble but not the exact circumstances (he was scrambling and fumbled is all I recall).
Last night, it looked like VY was carrying the ball away from his body (which I suppose is acceptable for a QB that might pull up and throw) and the back of his ball-carrying hand hit the top of his knee, which caused the ball to bounce out.
Tough break- were he not playing well otherwise we probably would be much more upset than we are.

Remember watching the Titans-Pats game?
I mean, do you really remember? It tasted like I had soiled, rotting rat grundle in the back of my mouth. We were the WORST NFL team I had ever seen. The Patriots were starting to take pity on us, for crying out loud….
I think I prefer the game last night.

I loved VY's interview
It reminded me of his easy-going days at Texas. Instead of letting critics get under his skin (and contrary to popular belief, he was massively doubted at Texas even among fans), he shrugged it off and let it fuel his play. I remember being concerned in 2007 that he seemed genuinely bothered by Merrill Hoge and other critics.
The other encouraging sign was VY’s bounce back after Nate Washington dropped a perfect bomb. I remember a host of big drops in Tennessee’s MNF game against Denver two years ago, and VY was understandably and visibly peeved at his receivers. While he had every right to be mad that night, it was nice seeing him shrug it off this time around and simply hit Scaife for a big 3rd and 7 conversion.

VY
I was a major detractor of Vince earlier this year. I was convinced he was dumb, immature and had no work ethic. Based on what we’re seeing from him now, that was incorrect. I say we all need to give the guy his due. While still not perfect (but who is), he is now acting like a leader on the field, and exhibiting confidence and resilience. One of the real keys to his recent success, other than great offensive line play, is that he is passing well enough that the defense cannot disregard the aerial attack and zero in on Chris Johnson and VY. I’m very happy with what I see developing here, regardless of the eventual outcome of this season. Go Titans, Go VY!

Those of us with more than his professional career to judge him by
knew that he had it in him. He went through a tough transition from being a poor inner-city kid, to a multi-millionaire and didn’t handle things well. He saw himself at a crossroads and had to make a life choice. It’s like I said when everything looked hopeless (“hopeless” I wish we were “harperless”), it was showing that he’d made the right decision and had become a man.
With his head on straight, combined with his physical skills and intangibles and having a rare talent like CJ in the backfield with him, I wasn’t ready to say we’d go 4-0 with VY. But I knew we’d have a FIGHTING chance.
It’s great to watch the real VY out there leading a team again. It’s great to sit down for a Titans game knowing it’s going to be a slugfest. Most of all, it’s great to be a fan again.
VY is the truth.

He's done a very nice job pulling the staff together.
Frankly, I didn’t think he had it in him at this point. But they did GREAT work on the Bye Week.
Still, he dropped THREE winable games early, and that’s gonna cost him and the team. And I think that a good bit of that was on him personally and either his inability to force adjustment from the Defense (Pitts, Jets) or just stupidity in refusing to give anything to returning kicks.

I said I’d eat some crow if VY stepped in and played well, and here I am. I’ve been really impressed with how well Vince has played since his return to the starting gig, and he’s still damned exciting to watch when he rolls out of the pocket. I’m now of the mind that the money I spent on my wife’s #10 jersey a couple years ago wasn’t wasted.
Going 0-6 sucked great, big donkey balls, but winning four straight has been awful nice. Here’s hoping the W’s keep coming.

of he can keep hitting guys on the edge and down the middle
then they’ll have to quit using spies. VY will have to continue to prove he can throw them out of those coverages.

Woulda worked a lot sooner if our big free agent pickup could catch.
I swear my first thought was that McSuckins could have caught that.
But then I quit acting crazy.

Dinger's just setting things up
against the Cards or Colts we’ll see VY rolling out right and pressing the line of scrimmage to draw the spy to him. Cutting across the field behind the spy (or on a throwback screen), VY will hit Scaife for an easy 15-20 yard gain.
I’m telling you, if we can effectively put pressure on every inch of the line of scrimmage from sideline to sideline and keep pushing the deep ball——THERE WILL BE NO WAY TO DEFEND THE ENTIRE FIELD AND WE WILL SCORE 30+ A GAME.

This is what we've seen in 4 games now.
Start of the game: guys spies VY. VY makes plays passing.
End of Game: Adjustment = no spy. Vince and CJ run wild.

It was obvious in last night's game
that Cushing’s only job was to shadow CJ.

Some idiot just told me that Stephen Jackson is the best RB in the league.

It's not an insane statement.
He has NO help.

My favorite play of the entire game was the Option-QB-Keeper.
That right there encapsulated pretty much the entire story of the game. Standard option-right. Linebacker refuses to commit, stays locked in on CJ. Probably the right call, really. Still, VY seems to realize it late, tucks the ball, and scampers for 12—to the Texans’ one yard line. LDW later runs in for the TD.
With that, we saw:
- That EVERYONE knows that CJ will kill them. In fact, a LBer commiting to Vince there probably allows CJ to score on that play.
- Vince recognized the defense and adjusted, taking what was there.
- He DID NOT go for the insane, concussion-causing headfirst bulldog TD run.
- Titans made a 1st Down AND help Time-of-Poss.
- Drive extended = TD scored.

It was good, but I put it second.
My favorite play was:
option-right, CJ and VY are running, CJ is obviously waving for the ball at Vince’s right, but Vince notices Britt start to break open in the endzone and flings a bullet to him for Britt’s first NFL TD.

I think, long-term, proving he can throw out of the option will do more for our offense.

I totally agree..
that was the better play.

I get nervous everytime nick harper Is in man and they throw the ball his way. Andre johnson was bad, I can’t imagine larry fitzgerald and anquan boldin.
